Larry; I've certainly started to notice how tempermental PPAge is in regards to changing graphics after they have been imported into a doc. Actually a lot of what I thought were bugs seem to have cleared up now that I now what not to do. I've had PPage for some…
Larry; I have managed to get most of the PCX files converted lately. Wolf Faust & Mike Loader offered a lot of help and assistance. One of the strange things I have found with the PCX files is how tempermental they seem to be (or is it the Amiga conversion…
What exactly has happened? I have the same set-up with no problem. I started off with 1.3 and upgraded a couple of years ago to 2.04 etc and everything went flawlessly. The only giltch I had was when I first got the HD the computer wouldn't recognize it. Turned out…
Anton; >>If you want, I convert your file to any PC-file format you need. (I hope!).So if you want, feel free to send it to me by mail and I'll return it soon
Rick, Thanks for the help. I think the ibm machine has Photo Shop, but the guy running it wasn't too sure about wether or not it could read Framestore. The problem with most IBM people is that as soon as you mention something other than IBM, especially Amiga, they tend…
Asha; >>I think you'll need to convert it first. ImageFX or AdPro ought to be able to do the conversion
#FrameStore to IBM
Message #215261
Can a Framestore file be used, or converted to something that an IBM can use? I have a picture tht I would like printed out but I don't have the ability to do it myself. I can get an IBM with a some sort of high tech colour printer. They…
#Framestore to IBM
Message #48497
I have a picture that was done on a Toaster and saved as a Framestore. Can this be used (after changing to an IBM disk) by any programs on IBM. Is there a conversion that I can do to get it into a format that IBMs can use. George
I was just about to ask the same question myself. I've been doing pretty good with AMoasic and the webs but I just downloaded THOR to see how that works with the USENETS. So far I got as far as decompressing it and starting it up. It looks great but…
Christian; I tried some of your ideas about changing the INIT string and checking prefs/serial. I've got the modem working good in DATA mode now, both send and recieve. I havent had a chance to try recieve FAXS yet though. YOu said try using RTS/CTS and changing init string from…
#GPFax wont Recieve
Message #194669
>> What is your init string in GPFax? And did you select the USR or the generic class 1 setting? My init string is the default that came with the program and it is set to USR modem. –> ATE0V1X4&D2S0=0&H2&B1 I have the modem DIP Sw set to auto answer…
Help with PPP on CIS

#GPFax wont Recieve
Message #192289
>>I wonder, though, if you've really saved off a good IFF copy of your fax. IFFs are smaller than the fax files they are created from. However, a typical fax file will run as large as 100K, as I recollect. If you're saving out a page as an IFF, I…
Greg; I have a standard A500 with no accelerators or fancy serial boards. I tend to run only 1 program at a time and I have not seen any screen flashes yet. I did get a 'Phase Frame Error' once and I don't see anything about that in the book.…
>> I HATE constantly seeing the word "COLOR" spelled "COLOUR."
Johannes; Thanks for the reply. Those extra lines look like they would work. I haven't done much with the scripts lately, but watching AP go through it's stuff I starting thinking about something with "SET PAGED NO", and probably "SET WIDTH 77" might help. (maybe not in BILLING but in…
Gregory; I have an old 500 which I guess is ECS. I will have a look for FASTGIF and FASTVIEW, I assume they are on CIS somewhere. Is there different types of GIF, I wonder why some can be imported into PP4.1 and others cant. Thanks for your help, George
#GIFs
Message #189664
I hope this is the right place to put this, I haven't had much luck with messages lately. My question is about the format of graphics in most sections. I have downloaded some graphics that end in .GIF, but I cant seem to do much with them. I can view…
AP Scripts
Message #46048
I need some help with Arexx scripts and AutoPilot. I've tried downloading some and havent got them to work properly. The one I have currently is Billing.Ap. When I run it it starts through the motions all right, but the output on the screen is not what the script expects…
Dan; Everyones beaten me to the punch. I'm glad you decided to get 14,4 thats what I have although we still only have 9600 here as the fastest. Sooner or later I'm sure we'll get something faster as I'm sure you will. Have fun; George
Dan; Get AutoPilot for accessing Compuserve, its well worth it. Also I would look for a 9600 Baud modem, I strted CIS with a 2400 and it took forever to DL programs. George
Steve; Thanks for the reply. I do have the 2 lines in my script. This is a list up to the point where it stops: if~show('l',"rexxsupport.library")then addlib('rexxsupport.library',0,-30,0) address command "run ap:autopilot" address command 'waitforport AP_REXX' address 'AP_REXX' call delay 40 LOGON portup = 'NO' I'm looking at my files and…
#Help in REXX
Message #45204
All; I've been trying to learn how the AREXX scripts work on AutoPilot. I don't know much about AREXX so I entered one of the examples called billing. When I ran the script it started AP and then stopped. I brought the CLI screen forward and the following message was…
Kevin; Hopefully someone will come up with some help, meanwhile I'll continue to look over this and see what I can figure. It sounds like yours got a little further than mine, I never get to the dial sequence. Have you tried recieving any fax yet? If I get time…
Kevin; Sounds like you're in the same boat as me. I just DL AFax the other day and can't get it going either. How far did you get? Right now it will run, I clicked on "NEW" and selected one of the files from "FaxDocs". I tried "VIEW" and it…
Ed; No problem Ed, if or when we find anything I will post something. Right now with Christmas and everything I don't think we will be doing too much with the computer. George
James; I will give Virus Checker 6.45 and Link Protect a try. Thanks George
Start-Up
Message #179385
Brian; Thanks for the ideas, we are going to check the startup sequence and run some virus checkers. If all else fails re install. I noticed my name was only showing the first name last time I was on. I thought I changed to full but obviously not, it will…
#Start-Up
Message #179374
Ed Martin; Thanks for the info Ed, we're going to go over the startup sequences and see if there is anything that looks out of place, and then if nothing else re load his originals. Probably try a virus checker also just to be on the save side. George Morrison
Gold Disk
Message #44190
I didn't see what your original question was, I'm new on AP and am still trying to figure everything out on this program. Anyway the Technical Support line for Gold Disk is (905) 602-HELP; (905) 602-4357 which is available Mon to Fri 0900 to 1700 EST. The area code has…
